Features & Capabilities

Light Meter is a user-friendly exposure calculator designed to help photographers achieve the perfect shot. By using your phone's main camera sensor or front ambient light sensor, it calculates ideal shutter speed based on your chosen ISO speed and aperture settings. The app features priority mode by tapping to lock aperture or shutter speed, zoom-based metering via pinch or menu, and a Snap function for easy parameter setting.

Additional conveniences include note-taking to save your entire shooting process, backup features for your notes, a Black & White mode to preview your photos in real time, and a Film Stock selection to match the type of film you use. Light Meter is regularly updated with new features to enhance your photography experience.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity and usefulness for film photography and other light-dependent tasks. The layout is straightforward and ads are minimally intrusive. However, many complain about inconsistent and inaccurate light readings, discrepancies between sensors, and lack of memory for settings like film ISO. Some users find the ad system annoying or the app unresponsive. Overall, it's a basic tool favored by film photographers but has limitations in accuracy and user experience.
Pros
  • Simple and quick to use with an easy layout
  • Works well for film cameras lacking a built-in meter
  • Useful for various purposes like photography, videography, and plant care
  • Ads are not obtrusive and unlikely to be accidentally clicked
  • Provides aperture priority metering by setting film ASA and aperture
Cons
  • Readings can be inaccurate or inconsistent, especially indoors or under non-ideal lighting
  • Light sensor and camera give vastly different lux readings
  • App doesn’t remember film ISO setting between sessions
  • Contains ads that some users find frustrating, such as having to watch ads to remove other ads
  • Sometimes unresponsive or stuck at a constant lux reading

I love the layout, it's so simple and quick to use, you can very very easily get your settings right ASAP which is so important. The ads are also not obtrusive and very unlikely to accidentally be clocked. However, the readings are pretty dang inaccurate. I've compared it against my phone's exposure settings and in anything other than perfect outdoor light this consistently gives 1-2 stop higher readings, and they tend to "stick" with anything other than dramatic changes in light.
